I made this to use in a chicken pot pie when I was out of canned soup, and it worked beautifully. It was easy to make. Like another reviewer, I used a little more flour to thicken it more. Very tasty soup, thanks for sharing the recipe, Rita.

I used this in place of canned cream of chicken soup in a casserole recipe. It worked terrific .It is a little thinner than the canned stuff, so as another reviewer suggested, if you want that consistency you might want to add a little more flour.

Really good! I used Wondra as the flour. I used a bit more to make it real thick because i was using this cream of chicken soup in a caserole recipe. thanks for this great recipe! Ill use it from now on instead of the store bought that has nasties (msg) in it.

I made this recipe to use in Recipe #255861 Chicken Broccoli Casserole instead of canned cream of chicken soup, because I prefer my meals to be made of fresh ingredients. I had a bit left over though, so I added some onion and mushroom and served it up. I was amazed and just how delicious it was, considering how very easy it was to make! It made a lovely winter lunch. Thanks so much!

I tried this recipe because I didn't have any canned cream of chicken soup. I think I'll use this recipe from now on, it's much better and easier to fix than the canned soup I'm used to. Thank you so much for the recipe!!
